If I cut slithers of around 4-5mm thick do you think it could be laminated to the curves of a rail?
Anyone who has worked with it a bit have an opinion???
Some of these I cut into 1/2" strips and bent into place.
Some are 1-1/2" steamed to bend.
Lots of options.
Have fun.
cheers,
So if i cut them to maybe i can get away with 8 mm .31 of an inch according to google conversions.
Ended up scoring a length of balsa so balsa rails stips it is…
Yew.
Balsa is a trip to work with.
If you get GOOD balsa, it is wonderful. BUT it can be really fibrous or too soft. I did a jensen style board with balsa rails and I did not know how to choose my balsa when I started. What I found is that you want the balsa that is really consistent and feels kind of like polyester foam but a little firmer…
